Arusha Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Mambo Rafiki! (Whats up friends!) So I have only been here for a week and I can already tell I won't be ready to leave in december. There is so much to learn and experience from the people and the land and the incredibly warm culture. It is ironic to me that people come here to teach whatever they have to teach, and we don't hear about all that ...

Je suis enfin arrive apres une journee de bus a Arusha. Premiere impression, il fait froid et on sent l altitude (1300m). Le Kilimandjaro est vraiment joli a voir de loin, il est vraiment tentant de le grimper tout comme le Mt Meru. Ainsi que de bon safari notamment dans un cratere ou la faune est concentre (Ngogorogo) et bien sur le fameux sere...

I worked from the house today so I could use Crystal's computer. I proofread a bunch of English stuff for Crispin to fix the spelling and grammatical errors so he can send out donation letters to vitamin companies and can do grant proposals to try and get money for his organization. We finally got a little change in breakfat today. We had fruit ...

We left Dar es Saleem for a long drive to the middle of nowhere. As soon as we arrived it started to rain so practically everyone upgraded. I hit the bar and got drunk. I didn't get as drunk as my Manchester room mate who came into the room, collapsed on my bag and sprayed shower gel everywhere. He later denied this, but I know. The next day we ...

After returning from the Masai Mara National Reserve I met up with the group that I will be traveling with for 21 days to Victoria Falls. We are 16 in total plus a tour leader, driver, and cook in a big vehicle that is sort of half bus and half semi-truck. The vehicle sits 30 so there is plenty of space for everyone on board. We all have jobs on...

So we arrived in Arusha at Kilimanjro International Airport. This airport is so small.....it has two terminals...but you actually walk off the plane and walk across the tarmac to go inside..lol its the funniest thing. We had to fly a prop plane (kinda scary) but in actuality it was pretty cool. It was a short flight over from Nairobi so it was ...

I'm back and alive from climbing Africa's tallest mountain in Tanzania. It was quite an interesting experience. It cost $1050 for 3 porters and 1 guide and 6 days of climbing... Anyhow, I'm back in Arusha for a little bit and I think after that I'll head to Zanzibar for a little bit of sun... Full story tomorrow while I get some rest.

GPS Coordinates: S 02°25'08.1" E 034°51'38.6" Temperature: 23.3°C Humidity: 60.5 % Pressure: 84.7 kPa Altitude: 1481 m Left Arusha with 3 hours of preparation (e.g. laundry) and 5 hours of sleep to go to the Panorama campsite overlooking Lake Manyara NP. At this point the group includes me, the guide Julius, the cook "Deo" (Not because he smelle...

Part 2 of our African adventure with Matt's parents was to go on Safari with them in Ngorongoro crater. They had booked 4 nights at the Sopa lodge well in advance and we had booked nothing (though they offered to put us up). We thought that we had reserved a 4x4 rental by email, but that fell through the day before we left for Kilimanjaro! So ba...

Hi again, We've arrived in a small city called Arusha in the country of Tanzania. We took a 5 hour shuttle bus from Nairobi to Arusha. Couldn't get out of that place fast enough, lol! The scenary started to change dramitically after about an hour into the ride. Lots of different trees and the landscape. It varied from barren looking desert to de...
